The Portland Timbers conclude the USSF Division-2 Pro League regular season, and their final regular season as a lower-division club, with a visit to Northwest-rival the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday; kickoff at Swangard Stadium is set for 4 p.m.

Saturday’s matchup between Portland and Vancouver is the final regular-season meeting between the two rivals as members of United Soccer Leagues/USSF D-2 Pro League. After competing as lower-division sides for the last 10 seasons, both the Timbers and Whitecaps join Major League Soccer as expansion clubs in 2011.
